I've always been more into competitive games, like FPS and MOBA. But now, I'm starting to like more story-focused games that will add something to my life, or just awesome games that everyone should play at some time.

Do you guys have any to recommend? Edit: I play exclusively on PC.

So far I've played both Portal games, truly awesome, Hollow Knight and Celeste.

  • Disco Elysium
  • What Remains of Edith Finch
  • Sayonara Wild Hearts
  • Gorogoa (really pretty much anything by Annapurna)
  • Stardew Valley
  • Night in the Woods
  • Gris
  • Firewatch
  • Slime Rancher
  • Oxenfree
  • Fallout 3
  • Fallout: New Vegas (Fallout series isn't so much about great stories though)
  • The Witcher 3 (Pretty good story, but imo it's more focused on world building)
  • A Short Hike

More games that are more about gameplay then story:

  • Factorio
  • Satisfactory
  • Deep Rock Galactic (Rock and stone!)
  • Goat Simulator
  • Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
  • Townscaper
  • Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel (maybe 1 as well, avoid 3)
  • Papers, Please
  • Tomb Raider
  • The Stanley Parable

I'm always glad when I see someone recommend Night in the Woods. It took me to a place no other game has.
